Come on, let's have a karate lesson!

On the 20th of November my dad and I went to Hill park school for my karate class.

When we got to Hill park school, my Sensi Christian decided to have a meeting with us first to discuss what we were going to do for our fundraiser on hypnosis night. A hypnosis night is when a hypnotist comes in and they hypnotise some people. After the meeting, our class started.

Before we started the class, we had to bow in. A bow is when you sit on your knees and think about what you thin is going to happen. After that, we had a warm up. We had to find a partner and stand opposite each other and I was with my friend Cooper. Next sensi Christian said, " Run to each other and do 10 to 1 push ups then go back and do 2 to 1 setups and keep going!" After 15 minutes of a warm up, we did komate.


Komate in English means fighting. First we had to put on our mits and pads. Mits and pads are protection guards for our hands and feet.

After we got ready, we went back to our partner and started to fight. Cooper said that I was as blind as a bat because I always forget where I was hitting. After we fought for a little while, I partnered up with my friend Morgan. Morgan is a person who has a heart of gold because she is sweet and kind.

After that, we rehearsed for the hypnosis night. I was with my friends Andrew and Jess, they are people who are always as busy as a bee. We had to think of activities to do on the night.  My friend suggested that we could do the mannequin challenge. The mannequin challenge is when you stay still like a mannequin. After we did the mannequin challenge, we went home because we were tired.

I had a wonderful time doing the mannequin challenge. I hope next time, my friend Sam could come because she really wanted to do the mannequin challenge.

Family dinners are awesome!

On the 28th of August, my family and I went to my aunt's house for a family dinner.

First, my dad and I cooked butter chicken because everyone had to cook a dish to bring.  While we were cooking, my dad told me to taste it to see if it was cooked already and if the taste was ok. It tasted so good that it made me feel hungrier and I wanted more of it.  I couldn't wait to get to the family dinner!

We placed the food in the boot of the car and we  drove to my aunt's house with my family. When we got there, we had to wait for my cousins to arrive because they were still cooking their food. While we were waiting, my brother and I took turns playing on my dad's phone because we were bored. After ten minutes my cousins arrived. When they all came in the house, we shouted,''Yay!'' because we were all starving. Finally, we sat at the table and had dinner together. Everything tasted so delicious especially the butter chicken which felt like it just melted in my mouth.

After dinner, we played some games. The first game was soccer. I was in my cousin Ben's team and my dad and brother was in the other. Then the game began. Dad's team was leading. But then, Ben scored a point which made me so happy because we caught up to my dad's  team in the points. Eventually, we added up all the scores and it was ten to ten. It was a tie! Everyone was so happy!

I felt happy because I got to bond with  my cousins before they left for Australia. Hopefully, we can visit them there so that we could spend time with them again and create more happy memories together.
